Are you guys seriously using spotify ? I switched to Tidal and it's a lot better if you have good headphones.

Here you go: samples of four different tracks recorded directly from Spotify and Tidal, volume matched and synched.

Good luck telling which is which.

I can't be sure you will tell me the truth if the samples comes from the right sources so I wont be convinced today. I already did this test with spotify and tidal before switching. You also chose songs that are basically not that technical and I use hd560s.

But I'll try it anyway.

Bonus sample 1

Beethnoven sample 2

Alright, let's bump up the technicality and samples size.

Give me your decision on the three additional tracks and I'll shoot you a PM with the answers.

I tried with the same volume, yes. I got 3 out of 4.

I was sent three more and I'm waiting for the results. There is one out of three where I found the production to be lacking and could not notice any difference at all between the two.

It's pretty tough. I'm not good on the technical side so I can't double check his technique. But if he does things properly, then I gotta to admit the difference is almost impossible to notice.
